The Denman Island Home & Garden Tour turns 20

A wall of bootsThe theme of reusing common items appears again: these repurposed old boots at Sandy and Des Kennedy's garden have been painted, lined up neatly along the wall of a garden shed and filled with flowers (real and artificial, depending on what's available). Old picture frames, painted to match the dusky aqua-grey colour of the wall, integrate this fun feature. An artistic eye and a sense of restraint keeps this look from veering into the realm of "cutesy." The shy little garden gnome is an unusually understated example of this species.
